Former Ghana Post Managing Director, Bice Osei Kuffour, popularly known as Obour, has urged Communication Minister Sam George to approach the dismissal of workers with caution.

He defended the recruitment process, stating that it was conducted legally and transparently, with no hires made after the 2024 elections. Obour further explained that every stage of the process, including interviews, was thoroughly documented and submitted to the government upon request for a database review.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen program, he noted that a more measured approach, along with careful scrutiny of the records, would have helped clarify any concerns surrounding the matter.

“The due processes were followed with the recruitment process, and I believe he will rescind the decision if he goes through the documents. So, I will plead with him,” Obour said.

On Tuesday, Sam George announced that he had authorized the terminations as part of a broader initiative to rationalize and streamline operations within the ministry and its affiliated agencies.

Mr. George revealed that almost 600 staff recruited into the ministry and its agencies after the 2024 elections were under review, with more expected to be let go.

However, Obour warned that such an approach could create disaffection, especially given that the Mahama-led administration campaigned heavily on job creation.

He also expressed his willingness to assist Mr. George with any information regarding the recruitment processes.
